Have "Alex" Proof read your paper

http://screencast.com/t/H7jyaXw9Hope this link works....
This is for Mac user only....
Have you ever struggled proof reading your own paper or experience
frustration while proofing someone Else's because they don't agree with
your edits? While my suggestion is to have "Alex" proof read your
paper.
From the apple menu ( top right) select system preferences.
Click on "speech"
Change the settings to select " Speak Selected text when the key is selected"

Next select the "Universal Access Tab" also in the system preferences.

VoiceOver may be turned on by pressing pressingCommand + F5. VoiceOver may also be turned on in theUniversal Accesspanel of System Preferences:

Chose Apple menu > System Preferences, and click Universal Access. (Alternatively, click on the System Preferences iconin the dock.)

Click on theSeeingtab.

Check the radio button labeledOnin the VoiceOver section (Figure 1).

If desired, click on the Open VoiceOver Utility... button to configure VoiceOver options

When you Highlight the selected document "Alex" will read it back to you..
